Review on S Home Audio by Ricky Faith

With the best will in the world I can't explain how and why amplifier manufacturers in all imaginable price ranges categorically refuse to attach an LED ring light around the volume control on these amplifiers. It's literally the only thing you interact with the most in the entire system. Volume. Then why are they black on black or, as in this case, small and black on black? So that you don't even know where the pen is when you're looking. And I have a lot of RGB lighting and effects in my office, so you'd think they'd be easy to find. .it really isn't. But after researching I said there were only 40-50 amps/DACs in total, only 5 had a lightbulb around the volume knob! Meanwhile, the sound here is mediocre at best, and the only EQ worth listening to is their own setting called SDB. All others are worthless. I would like to point out that the cool feature to change the screen font to different theme colors is cool .woohoo. it's just not useful. .just a nice party trick. This is a device that requires us to constantly interact. The ideas and thoughts contained within are of the utmost importance and should be focused on usability. The features it offers should be practical and well thought out, not a cheap party gag that looks cool. Concentrate on what matters: SOUND, FEELING, TOUCH AND EMOTION, because you are delivering something personal to your customers. . MUSIC. As such, all your ideas and actions should revolve solely around that experience, and looking at something as BIG as the master volume knob is a clear indication of how you viewed every other part of the device.
